izzo Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Put some butt lice on it. It'll slowly eat it away. Then buy some "Wagdattos" BL cream to remove. Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ya know, i thought about that, but with the economy the way it is, even butt lice are getting expensive... 2 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Try this. First twist the frayed (?) ends together. Clean the inner cable end with spray brake cleaner, let dry and dip in flux. Heat up your soldering iron and lightly tin the end. It will go into the socket without further fraying. Extra length of outer cover? Loop it. Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 No fray, new cable, over a foot of excess cable I need to shorten Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Clean it, and solder it like above, where you want to cut it. Then use an abrasive cut-off disk. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 a dremel with the abrasive cut off wheel as mentioned....high speed, light touch. You can use a couple of wire twisties(kind that come with some garbage bags) close to together and cut in between. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Clean it, and solder it like above, where you want to cut it. Then use an abrasive cut-off disk. do this ^^^ flux and solder to tin a good 1-2in section of it and then cut. I recommend liquid flux and a finer core solder. Quote Link to comment
